D5                  
I'm a ringer from the top end 
                          A5 
Where ya gotta know your job 
 
And what you're doin' each day 
 
On 2 million acres you bet 
                      D5 
Ya have to earn your pay 
        
If ya wanna take it on 
                                      G5       E5 
There's one thing that shouldn't be forgotten 
 G5                 A5 
Nobody can do the job  
                        D5 
Like a ringer from the top end 


 A5                       
Out on the fence line swallowing dust 
 E5  
Blood on my hands from the barb 
  
Hoping that rogue bull won't see the hole 
 A5  
Before they get him in the yard 
       D5                            
But I get a funny feeling in the middle of my back 
 G5                               E5 
Sure enough he's coming like a train down the track 
 G5                              A5 
That's when nobody else moves faster 
                             D5 
Than the springer from the top end 


 D5 
I'm a ringer from the top end  
                      A5 
Where ya gotta muster 3 thousand head in a day 
                                                D5 
Move 'em to the yards and water them at end of day 
 
It's not the sort of job you'd take       
                          G5      E5       
If you're looking for a soft one              
 G5                             A5          
But ya take a kinda pride in saying  
                       D5 
I'm a ringer from the top end 


 A5                               
Well I roll out my swag 'neath the boab tree 
 E5 
And then I'm out like a light 
 
Dreaming about those girls in town 
 A5 
Next thing it's broad daylight 
 D5 
No time to dream of what might have been 
            G5                         E5 
I'm in a dirty bull catcher with the mustering team 
 G5                            A5 
I better keep my mind on the job 
                               D5 
'Cause I'm a ringer from the top end 
 

 G5                        A5 
And nobody does the job better 
                         D5 
Than a ringer from the top end
